I highly, highly recommend Mixbook for this purpose. It has made life so much better. I agree--getting a good start is definitely the hardest part. Now we have momentum!

Not only does it suggest that you're a fun teacher, but it shows that you'll be the mom who also gets dressed up when you take your kids trick-or-treating. jAllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282963869813954232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-51644149988660415992015-07-04T15:57:20.013-07:002015-07-04T15:57:20.013-07:00Yay, so glad you are making progress. It's so ...Yay, so glad you are making progress. It's so interesting to read your experiences as you work through this. I actually did some research on profile books after reading your posts, because you got me curious about them. I feel intimidated just thinking about taking on a project like that, so I'm getting more respect for you and adoptive parents by the minute! Anyway, I'm keeping Mixbook in mind for my next photo book project. I used KodakGallery way back for wedding / honeymoon photos, and it was OK but not great. So much better to not be trapped in a template.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-90682773629725450822015-07-04T10:13:49.585-07:002015-07-04T10:13:49.585-07:00I'm so glad that you're making progress on...I'm so glad that you're making progress on the profile book, although I'm sorry that it's been such a process to get to a good place. The picture of you and Bryce is beautiful and the pictures of you in a leopard costume and St. Patty's day paraphernalia are cute and humanizing! I don't think that I'll be making a profile book anytime soon, but I think your picture taking tips are good in general. It's hard to balance taking the time to take pictures and wanting to be in the moment. Good luck finalizing the rest of the book! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
